Staying at this hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The lodge-style rooms offered a good size and a lovely view of the volcano, plus they were exceptionally clean and well-equipped with a reasonably priced mini-bar. The service was top-notch, with staff addressing our concerns promptly and going out of their way to ensure our satisfaction. The location, while perfect for volcano views and bird watching, was a bit far from La Fortuna, but the scenic surroundings made up for it. The dining options were plentiful but the quality left something to be desired. Overall, a comfortable stay with great service and surroundings.
